NeoXP

Seems to me your problem could also be your nForce chipset and the "APIC-thing". Follow this link and see if it solves your problem. Good luck.

D*mn, I have been searching for it on the board, but could not find it, thougt I was the first to have discovered it ............. Then the honour goes to you Anon Still all this is giving a great boost to OSS and Mandy in particular!

When you're German isn't that bad, great opportunity for Mandy.......... clicker the click

Does this mean that Grub is better than Lilo? Why?

Go linux!!!!!!!!!!! Great news

I'm afraid not, I did a fresh reinstall without saving anything. Actually I'm working with XP because there are still two applications I've got to get working in ML. 1. A good p2p-client (this one should not be so hard) 2. I have a (windows) program to do my banking, I'm trying to get this working in vmware, but I still have not figured out how to get my modem running to send the transactions. Once I have found a solution for these 2, I'm going to do a last fresh install to switch completely to ML. Untill that time I'm messing around, and trying... Therefore I regulary mess everything leaving me nothing but a complete new fresh install. The good news is, I got kernel-2.6.7.0.rc2.1mdk to work yesterday, so untill now I'm a happy camper B)

I have a nForce MoBo, the magnificent Abit NF7-SL (with integrated Sound and Lan). I have ran ML from 9.0 - 10.1 cooker with it, as of ML 10.0 Community everything workes out of the box (only the APIC-thing). If you prefer ML 9.0 - 9.2, check this board for some guidelines on how to get the onboard NIC to work. I would go for the nForce-chipset!

Your Mobo, which chipset does it have?

I'm still kind of a newbie, I'm experimenting with ML, to replace XP on my major Box. I had to do a reinstall because of this experimenting. My problem is that my previous install was running on kernel-2.6.6-3mdk and I can't find this kernel with kernel-source. Kernel 2.6.6 was working perfectly on my (nForce) box (the APIC-thing was solved and so on). I'v tried the latest 2.6.7 RC but it isn't working (can't even boot into it, still working on it). If anyone of you got a mirror for kernel-2.6.6-3mdk I would be much obliged. Thx BTW I have tried to compile a kernel 2.6.6 from kernel.org but untill now it was'nt a succes. I need the precompiled one to get my box switching between ML and XP, without going into the bios to disable/enable APIC everytime.

Forgive me, I'm confused Do you mean that it is a kernel that I can install and boot into? If so, is it a kernel that comes with support (like 3D) for an Ati-card?

Annon, is it a ATI-driver you've posted, if so which X-version? :unsure: Thx

Knoppix also was my first experience with Linux, but since my onboard features were not recognized, I searched and found Overclockix. I like the distro, so I installed it to my HD to experiment with it. I found an interesting thing about upgrading to another kernel on their forum: click me!!!!! I want to try it and see if I can do that to Mandy as well. If it works on Mandy I'll post my experience. /edit: typos/

@Steve: Thx, for pointing me to the faq's, I'm sorry I did'nt take the trouble to look at it before coming up with my question. The faq indeed gives me all the answers @Gowator: At the moment I can't do without XP, still looking for a good p2p client for Linux (so all my mp3 and other data is on a FAT32 partition) and trying to get my modem to work in Linux for telebanking (maybe with VMWare for Linux). But when I finally get rid of XP, I will keep your advice in mind about setting up a partition accessible from different distro's.

Hi everyone, At the moment I'm dual-booting ML (It is a fresh install) and XP. I want to install 1 or 2 more distro's (like maybe Knoppix, Overclockix or Mepis). How can I install multiple distro's, I know I can create 1 partition as swap, but when I create 1 partition as /boot and 1 partition as /home, can I use them for all the distro's I plan to install? I have installed Overclockix (besides ML and XP) but I can't figure out how to configure my lilo.conf to get them running from Lilo (XP is on hda1-hda9, swap is on hda10, ML is on hda11 and Overclockix is on hda12, both ML and Overclockix with there own /boot and /home). Thx.

Good question! Everytime I change between XP and ML I go into the bios, to change the Apic option, if I leave Apic disabled XP won't boot. Also on my previous install I had kernel-2.6.6-3mdk installed, but I can't find it back on the sources (kernel 2.6.6 actually solve the problem with the randomly lockups, with Apic enabled in my bios). I tried kernel-2.6.7-rc1, but for some funny reason it just won't boot, so if someone can give me a link to kernel-2.6.6-3 (incl. kernel-source), I would be very thankfull.
